Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 March 2026
537. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport the national funding or grants that are available to a local football club (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16213/26]
View answerMy Department operates two capital funding programmes for sport, namely the Community Sport Facilities Fund (CSFF) and the Large-Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF). Sporting organisations can apply directly for CSFF funding while applications to the LSSIF must be made through either a National Governing Body (NGB) of Sport or a Local Authority.
I have asked my Department to prepare for a further round of the CSFF in 2026. It is anticipated that the next round will particularly target areas and sports that have been under-invested in over the years. Any organisation that wishes to make an application must first be registered at www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie.
